CHAPTER 19

TRIS POV

Recap:
"Oh and..... I just want to say I'm really sorry about Peter. He is so stupid. He is sorta in the group, now too."

I stare wide-eyed at her and I feel my eyes start to tear up. I will myself not to cry. Not when everyone is here.

"What! Why!" I practically shout.

Now everyone is looking at us.

She laughs nervously. "Me and him are sorta

Now~    Dating." Lynn finishes.

I just sit there in shock.

"Let me explain. Peter felt really bad about how Lauren and Eric were treating you and when he found out you were in the hospital he did some research and I helped him. Well, he did the research and I just tagged along, since I already knew. I didn't tell him. I promise." She tells me. "He snooped on the doctors papers and found out that you had the abusive father and he couldn't believe that he had jumped on your back and hurt you even more. He feels really bad. And when he saw you leave the orphanage, he said that he was really sad because he wanted to make sure you were safe and also because you were his best friend." Lynn finishes.

I snort. "Then why did he beat me up everyday with Eric. That doesn't make sense, now does it." I whisper.

"He feels really bad and he wanted to come over with me, but I told him not to. I didn't know how you were going to react."

I let a tear slip out and Christina comes over and wipes it away.

"Baby girl, I know you don't believe any of this, but after this all happened, he didn't come to school because he felt so horrible. And I am just saying for the gang that if you don't feel comfortable with Peter in the group we can always kick him out." Christina tells me.

I look at Lynn and she nods. "That was part of the agreement."

"Don't you guys just love drama." Will says sarcastically.

"I want to watch TV!" Uriah announces.

"Hey I was gonna say that!" Zeke whines.

"Let's go watch OUAT!" (once upon a time. I loveeeee that show! Comment if you watch it, too!!!) Marlene squeals.

"Okay." We all agree.

"Tris you want me to carry you downstairs or you want to walk?" Tobias asks.

"Walk."

"You sure?"

"Positive."

Tobias comes and offers me his hand. Lynn follows the group downstairs and I wait for everyone to be out of the room when I place my feet in the ground. I slowly make my way into a hunched over standing position and I start painfully making my way to the door with Tobias close behind.

Just as I make my way out of his room, I notice just how cold I am. The blankets were warm and almost heated like. I look down and realize I am wearing black Adidas sweats and shirt that says Chicago on it. Goosebumps spread like wildfire down my arms and legs. It doesn't take long for Tobias to notice.

"You need a sweatshirt." He says.

He runs back into the room with me leaning on the wall for support and comes back with a gigantic dark blue sweatshirt. He gently places it around my neck and moves my arms through the holes. It comes down to my mid thigh. He is huge.

Slowly, but surely I make my way down the stairs and into the living room to find the gang including Caleb already there.

"Bea! You're up!" Calve yells.

He gets up and kisses my forehead and along with Tobias, gets me to the wide couch. The gang is all sitting on the floor arguing about who gets the remote and Tobias lays down next to me.

Finally OUAT comes on and we all start watching it, memorized. We still can't believe that Elsa and Ana are in the show! About halfway through, I notice that the entire gang including Caleb has fallen asleep, well except for Toby and I.

"Tobias," I whisper. "I love you so much. Thank you for helping me with everything. I am such a burden. You deserve so much better. I love you and I wouldn't be able to live without you." I say.

He smiles and whispers, "Tris, I don't even know words to describe how lucky I am to have you and how much I love you. You are not a burden at all. I actually love helping you. You make my life worth living."

I smile again and we kiss. A long passionate kiss. When we break apart I start to laugh thinking about mom and dad's reaction when they see a bunch of teenagers in their living room.

"What?" Tobias asks.

"Mom and dad are going to be like when did they get here and why are they in my house." I say looking around at all my awesome friends.

He smirks. "That is going to be fun to explain." I nod and lean back onto the pillow, suddenly very drowsy. Tobias wraps his arm around my really low waist, being careful to avoid the scars and pulls me closer to him.

I smile and close my eyes.

I hear, "I love you, Tris." But I am already too far gone to respond.
